[@HowToRapOfficial]

COMMENT: Who is YOUR favorite rap persona that a rapper has created?

[@aphylorne3021]

My personal favorite is between Tyler the Creator's Wolf Haley and MF DOOM's Viktor Vaughn.

[@bluewhye8832]

Slim Shady. A close second is HOVA.

Slim shady

[@harveyquinn3535]

Biggie or Raekwons mafioso persona or Eminem or Big Ls “I’ll kill you” persona

Embrace your eccentricities, they're what make you a character. 😉

Drew can you make video about how to send a message on our song without sound preachy? ,and can you analyze what make a song considered as preachy song?

That beat is dope in the background. Makes me want to rap at 180 BPM

[@DonkeeBoyYT]

The last time I rapped myself by beating it 180 times a minute it burned off alot of skin.

Nicki Minaj is the perfect embodiment using different characters. She used to mention Roman a lot. Nicki went schizophrenic on Monster!

[@DonkeeBoyYT]

She is not an "embodiment" of this, nor is she a very good example at all. She is on screen as she is off screen. Literally all the time. Also can we really consider her a rapper even if we ignore the fact she can barely rap?

[@onlyinmotion]

@@DonkeeBoyYT kept it factual until you had to be extra and say she can barely rap. Poor take, nor is that true in the slightest.

[@Likklemiss926]

​@@DonkeeBoyYTnicki minaj is heavily animated and has multiple alter egos with different sounds. And saying nicki can "barely rap" is a lie

[@simonwilson-ayer856]

Thank you for doing this recommendation!

[@XaTheDuck]

Love this Persona vs Characteristic Video :)

[@benjaminreinhardt6360]

Tony Starks the dog that got a bite to match his bark, his mouth spits leathel darts and has the smooth persona that be breakin' ladies hearts... Too many characters and person to choose from but any Wu-Tang Clan persona is sure fire pick!

Naaaahhh...? Infinite was very generic cookie cutter street clutter from back then. It literally sounded like a million other mixed tapes mixed together in an executives waste basket. I liked it a tiny bit just because it was Eminem who made it. And maybe I liked it a little from not hearing that generic stuff since the early 90's. But I will never listen to it again after the 1 and a half times I already have. You can almost hear it in that album too, like EM' didn't want to be rapping that same old same old. But you could also kind of hear like he was sure of his skill, just hoping he could rap that stuff a little better than the last million did so his skill could come through.
